Abstract

A method of changing the angle of the seat of a saddle used for riding horses. This invention requires a removable or detachable seat cover under which is a flexible seat, front of which may be raised or lowered for maximum rider comfort. This is achieved by using spacers under the front of the seat structure, which is called a ground seat, in saddle making nomenclature. This invention allows saddle seat configuration to be optimized for different riding conditions or disciplines, which traditionally use saddles that have differing seat angles, to optimize rider position and comfort for that discipline.

Therefore, having thus described the invention at least the following is claimed: 
     
         1 . A riding saddle having a seat that is adjustable with respect to front to rear axis, or slope, comprising;
 A. A removable seat cover, covering a seat structure called a ground seat. which is affixed to a saddle tree.   
       The underside of the front of the ground seat rest on removable spacers. These spacers are of varying thicknesses so as to raise or lower the front of the saddle seat. 
       This provides for varying slope or angles of the saddle seat. These spacers may be composed of varying material, including leather, plastic or other.
 B. The ground seat of claim one is made of a strong but flexible material allowing the front to be raised or lowered while rear portion of ground seat is permanently attached. 
 C. The ground seat of  claim 1  is raised or lower in the rear, with spacers under the rear of ground seat with front of ground seat remaining attached, so as to effect change in the seat angle for the benefit of rider comfort and security. 
 D. The riding saddle of  claim 1  includes a removable seat cover so as to provide Access to the ground seat and associated adjustment apparatus. 
 
     
     
         2 . The ground seat of claim one is detachable and removable and to be replaced with other ground seats of differing slope and angle with spacers permanently affixed to the ground seat in such a way as to change seat angle. 
     
     
         3 . The padded seat of  claim 1  is made of varying thickness especially in front area so as to effect the angle of seat, similar to the effect of spacers under the ground seat.
